Aid began reaching survivors of the recent earthquake in Afghanistan’s western Herat province as several victims sought medical treatment in the midst of food and drinking water shortages and plummeting nighttime temperatures.
Medical worker Abdul Razaq, affiliated with the Afghan Red Crescent Society, reported, “They are suffering from pneumonia because they work during the day, and the nights are cold here. Some are also experiencing sore throats, and some people lack tents, so they are essentially facing these challenges.”
